I came across a bald cypress seedling at the edge of our burn pile about a month ago near our 20-ft tree. I don't know if it germinated during the flooding we had earlier this year or if heat caused it to germinate, but I put it in a pot and would love to develop it into a bonsai. It has doubled in size since I dug it up. I have it in a 1-gallon nursery pot and keep it fairly moist. It's 9 inches tall and growing like crazy. When should I start pinching it back? When would be a good time to transplant it to a bonsai pot? Should I keep it in a tray of water?
I'm new to bonsai, so I have a lot of questions. I'd be grateful for any advice.
